MOA (mechanism of action):

Carbamazepine has anticonvulsant, anticholinergic, antidiuretic, antiarrhythmic, muscle relaxant, antidepressant, sedative, and neuromuscular-blocking properties. It stabilizes the electrical activity in the brain and nerves, thereby preventing the seizures. Namely, Carbamazepine stops the built up of electrical signals in the brain and nerves, as well as releases neurotransmitters (nerve-exiting agents). In patients suffering from paroxysmal pain, Carbamazepine is thought to blocking the pain signals so they cannot get into the brain. The mood stabilizing effect of Carbamazepine most likely occurs due to its capability of reducing the glutamate activity in the brain.
